DOE Energy Grants — January 22, 2026

Centerra and EMCOR show 75-86% outlays on $187M obligations, confirming execution momentum through 2026.

Allegheny's $34M obligation (75% outlayed) under WOSB set-aside has $64M options to $98M total by 2028.

Firm fixed price exposes Centerra/EMCOR to cost overruns on long-term services to 2026/2027 amid incomplete scopes.

T&M structure for Allegheny risks audits on rates/hours; funding for remaining $8M obligation tied to appropriations.

$56M unexercised options across contracts could lift total value 25% to $347M.

DOE set-aside (WOSB) and full/open awards signal preferences for specialized services providers.

Contracts concentrate on protective force (60%), facilities (25%), engineering (15%) with DC/Idaho focus and 75%+ average outlays.
